Stand Alone Version of the Installer

Question
-
Does anybody know where I can get a stand-alone version of the new WLW? I had a lot of problems with the new version of Messenger and would rather not update it, but would like to update WLW.
Thanks,
JD

Well, you'd better not download any programs from 3rd party websites. Instead, you can grab a copy of installer from Microsoft Download Center at http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/F/4/0F4D43A7-8D47-4312-BC35-EC1F888AC156/en/writer-ship-en.cab
It also needs .NET Framework, so just in case you still don't have it — here's the best link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=ab99342f-5d1a-413d-8319-81da479ab0d7- Proposed as answer by PronichkinMicrosoft employee Tuesday, December 23, 2008 10:21 PM
